Its main advantages: strong power, large traction, and strong climbing ability (can climb 25-degree slopes). The maximum load capacity at a 25-degree slope is 32 tons. At present, the diesel engine monorail crane can achieve 12 drives; the traction force of each drive is 25KN, and the maximum traction force reaches 300KN. Its main disadvantages are: the exhaust gas emitted by the diesel engine causes pollution to the narrow tunnel space, noise pollution, and complicated maintenance.

Compared with other equipment in coal mine transportation, the monorail crane has the ability to perform difficult operations in complex external environments. Its transportation is highly safe and consumes less manpower and material resources.
